My approach is a true partnership. I am an active, engaged guide, not just a passive listener. My style is direct and results-oriented, yet always grounded in compassion. I create a safe space for total honesty, but will also gently challenge you to see new perspectives so you can achieve real, lasting change.

Together, we won’t just talk about the problem; we'll create a clear plan to solve it. We will go beneath the surface to identify the patterns keeping you stuck and build practical skills to handle pressure. Our goal is to help you regain control and build a life that is both authentic and sustainable.

My clients often say I am direct and insightful, but also warm and easy to talk to. The most common feedback is that I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where they feel truly seen and can be completely honest. They also appreciate that I’m not afraid to challenge them, asking the questions that help them get unstuck and achieve their goals.

I specialize in working with people who are struggling to hold it all together internally. They often turn to substances or other compulsive behaviors to manage high levels of stress and burnout. My clients are ready to find more sustainable ways to cope so they can feel as good on the inside as they look on the outside.

I became a therapist because I genuinely believe in people's ability to change. I wanted to create a practical, non-judgmental space for people to talk about the things they can’t say anywhere else. Nothing is more rewarding than helping someone gain insight into their own patterns and watching them build a life that they want.

I offer confidential online therapy exclusively to adults throughout Iowa, which provides maximum flexibility and privacy. I operate on a private pay basis, which allows our work to be focused entirely on your goals without insurance mandates. Expect a direct, modern, and collaborative approach focused on real-world results.
